We are a national network of women of the African Diaspora who do academic and/or community-based teaching, research, and organizing based on our education in women's studies. Rooted in the
history of of feminist consciousness within African American communities (see Beverly Guy-Sheftall's Words of Fire), we triumphantly walk the artificial line between black liberation and women's liberation politics, catching fire on all sides, yet demonstrating through our focus the power of mind over matter.

Still Brave Podcast

Greetings loved ones!!!!!

This podcast is a graduation gift from me to you, from Black Women's Studies to me and to a planet ready to be transformed by our bravery!!! Consider it a bravery infusion, listen to it when you need a supplement, or honor yourself by contextualizing your brilliance in the deep tradition of Black feminist intellectual bravery.

The experience of making and editing this podcast affirms for me that tomorrow when I walk to get my PhD in English, African and African American Studies and Women's Studies, I am participating in a long, deep, resonant walk with many fellow travelers. One of the blessings that keeps me brave is the vibrant, intergenerational community of Black feminist scholars, cultural workers and activists represented here.
